. it went for barack obama four years ago, but then a white republican a year later in the gubernatorial election. -- then went republican a year later in the of editorial election. for gin is a battleground state, although it appears to be trendy -- virginia is a battleground state, although it appears to be trending towards romney. obama and romney have spent so much time in virginia and ohio that they will have to start paying taxes in both states. ohio? >> ohio remains beyond romney's grasp at this point in large part because obama is doing better there with white voters than he has across the country, and in the northeast of ohio, the auto bailout made a difference i. it is so much of a problem that rob portman, introducing romney in defiance, ohio in front of a huge crowd, said that "we have got to talk about this auto bailout tonight." they are still trying to explain. >> can romney win without ohio? >> yes, but it will be a tough one to reach. but it is still very close race. >> virginia? >> virginia will still probably end up in obama's camp. >> i look at the polls, and romney i

to continue to grow on coal. i think that barack obama is the best thing that happened to the republican party since jimmy carter. i just really feel, at the end of the day, people are going to wake up when they go to the polls, they're going to make the right decision. it will be mitt romney. thank you. host: moving on to elkhart, indiana. dale is on our line for independents. dale is optimistic about the economy. go ahead, dale. caller: hi. how are you? host: i'm doing fine. you say that you're optimistic about the economy. why is that? caller: well, our economy is so big, it's just going to keep going no matter what, even though we came close to falling off of a cliff, we still rebounded no matter the negative or positive attitudes that were out there. we continue to still grow. we need to have more percentage growth. but i just feel it's just going to keep going no matter what our politicians or our big business or anybody does. host: hey, dale, what kind of business are you in? what do you do for a living? caller: i'm a quality technician for aerospace components. host: and based on the t

. they are not looking for fraud. they are trying to embarrass the republicans. bad for obama to have the un in. >> and hear about the companies cutting staff and the stocks you want to hire, too. >> companies that are adding workers and ready to pay you. morgan store. >> i like them. they are hiring and analyst >> emac? >> it costs more. the stock is pricier than walmart or target. >> you like them. >> they are up 33 percent . they have a sweet dividend and hire the earnings power is so smart. i like the stock. analyst say it will slow down. >> thank you, ladies. thanks for watching and keep it right here. it continues with cashin in.

's there for the future generations, not only ours. >> i think that obama -- i think republicans try to get you into. >> i think we should give someone else a chance. the last four years have not been good. he didn't do what he promised. >> he's going to do better. >> we gave him four years. i'm a democrat, but i don't think he did his job. >> the house and the senate for two years and jobs was not part of it. >> and we've never been in debt like we are now. >> all right. so you heard it, social security, medicare, jobs, the debt. their concerns run the gamut but something immediate coming just after the first of the year that will affect the personal financial situation of virtually every american and voters are hearing virtually nothing about it from either president obama or mitt romney. this is the fiscal cliff. the $7 trillion worth of tax increases and spending cuts that begin on january 1st. i have been warning you about this part of the economic storm for months now, unless congress and the president act, your taxes will go up, millions of jobs could be lost and the congressional budget office say

the republicans--no, no, no. this is what he sees. he sees colin powell and barack obama, look at that, they're both black. that's a classic case of projection. he thinks us republicans we vote based on race. if there is a black quite versus a white guy we vote for the white guy. that's what cool bin powell is doing, too. no colin powell has a brain. 's not a gut r rctctn racisistt liou j jn sunuunu. apparently he felt bad about this again this is the eighth time he has done it on the campaign trail specifically about race. he walked it back today and said i do not doubt it was based on anything but his support of the president's policies. expect when you said it was about race. >> he's miserable miserable guy, john sununu. and he's the living embodiment of that party of a thousand years ago. >> cenk: why are they doing this. if they send sununu out he at least three different times made racial attacks on the president. do they think they he have not shored up the racial vote yet. >> it has something to do him getting elect the. but after it's all done, once you say something, and you say it

with romney at 47-47 in virginia. the republican-leaning rasmussen gave obama a two-point lead over romney in florida. david axelrod still seems confident of a obama win leaving romney to place to go. in my view we have got the lead and the ball. the question is how does he change that now. maybe so, but the job numbers that come out the friday before the election still have the potential to change the dynamics in this very tight race. for administer on this speech the every tightens polls i'm joined by christia freeland digital editor at thomson reuters and author of "plutocrats." and by robert scheer editor at truth dig.com and author of "the great american stick up up:show reagan republicans and clinton democrats enriched wall street while mugging main street street." rapid plus expeditious equals major. >> romney seems to be pivoting so far that he's presenting himself as obama 2008. that's what we heard in the foreign policy debate. and what was striking for me today is how often he referred to positively to the obama of 2008, and how he tried to sort of seize the mantle that obama c

in northeast wisconsin that swung huge for obama in 2008 and then swung violently back for the republicans in the gubernatorial races of 2010. there were countiss that president obama one by ten points and scott walker in june won by 20 points. these more rural counties are competitive, ticket splitters and those are going to be counties to watch in central wisconsin come election day. host: how does early voting factor in? guest: we don't have the same tradition. it's been growing but not at the same level. it's known as absentee voting. the window for early voting is narrower now and it's harder to track in wisconsin because we don't have registration by party so if you're trying to figure out which side is winning the early vote, it's more difficult. so i don't think we can say with confidence who has the advantage in the early voting in wisconsin. it will be significant but it won't be at the level like states like colorado. host: are voters required to show i.d.? guest: a law was passed to do that but it's held up in court so they will not be required to show photo i.d. in this electi

himself. he won the republican nomination in affluent areas and shown himself to be more articulate than president obama, the supposedly great orator. people in affluent suburbs like people who are articulate, who use words good, as i like to put it, and that is an advantage that mitt romney has and that he demonstrated to great effect there, and i think -- i wrote earlier in the washington examiner that romney was a kin dread spirit to many aflute people. politically awkward on some occasion. he is able to make a sharp point but is polite and is conservative on the cultural issues. has an attitude that reminds me of the inscription on the tombstone of an english woman which noted she was religious without enthusiasm. >> well, what's this democratic argument you're hearing now, that says, okay, all of that might be true, but republicans have no chance at michigan and pennsylvania anyway. and, look, in ohio, which the republicans have to win, romney has to win, where barack obama is still leading, still leading wisconsin and iowa and nevada. that is his fire wall, and unless romney can br

president obama. what does this say about the republican party? isn't this getting to be somewhat of a brand of the republican party? >> i think it was an unfortunate slip of words, but you're insinuating something that is absolutely accurate. my party, unfortunately, is the of those people who are still basing their decision on race. let me be candid. my party is full of racists. the real reason a considerable portion of my party wants president obama out of the white house has nothing to do with the content of his character, nothing to do with his competence, and everything to do with the color of his skin. and that's despicable. >> what does it say about mitt romney to allow john sununu to slip away with this without repurr cushion whatsoever? >> it says that mitt romney will use any tactic whatsoever to win the white house. >> colonel lawrence wilkerson, great to have you with us. i appreciate your candor so much. thank you for visiting with us tonight. >>> this isn't the first time that john sununu has engaged in race baiting. why does the romney campaign keep using this guy as a surrog

. >> meantime, president obama says he wants to work with congressional republicans to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff that would trigger tax hikes and spending cuts. two short months from now. >>> so, also new this morning, we have president obama picking up another endorsement, though not unexpected. this one coming from the chicago tribune. mitt romney and paul ryan made a joint appearance last night in the battleground state of ohio. >> not just picking a president for four years, we're picking what kind of country we're going to be. what kind of people we're going to be. what kind of country we're going to give to our kids. >> we want real change. we want big change. and paul ryan and i are going to give it to the people of america with your help. >> on the campaign trail today, mitt romney is holding three events in florida, with senator marco rubio, paul ryan's bus tour is crisscrossing ohio. president obama visits new hampshire this afternoon. and vice president biden will attend a rally in lynchburg, virginia. let's get right to it. nbc's mike viqueira is joining us from t

well, it's a republican saying this and we've heard that a few times now. >> but what the obama campaign believes is any excuse to bring this up sways women toward them. i've talked to so many women voters where they do feel tugged in two different directions. maybe they do feel they are leaning toward romney because of the economy but if you get them thinking about adorgs and the social issues, then they lean back toward obama. so if they can just make these women voters have that issue at the top of their minds instead of the economy, that's what's going to sway them. gwen: here's an issue that's not on the top of anyone's mind. even though it was the subject of the final foreign policy debate, which was this week though it feels like it was months ago. at the end it was clear both had a strategy goinging in and it had very little to do with talking about the u.s. foreign policy. >> right. there was the expected clash of world views. romney has been bush -- pushing the idea of american exceptionalism, the very muscular view of foreign policy, pushing, and right down the line ,

john king say. republicans will tell you this is the obama campaign's one trick pony but when you're on the ground in ohio talking to voters, it is something that really matters to them. one in eight jobs tied to the auto industry. >> yeah. jim, romney's speech today was described as a major speech on the economy. didn't seem like there was a lot of specifics in there. but i lost count of how many times i heard him use the word change. >> that's right. they did everything but play the song "don't stop thinking about tomorrow" going back to the bill clinton days. yes, he is talking about change, he's casting himself as the change candidate and i think that is why they went out to iowa today, not to unveil any new economic proposals. you don't really do that in the final stage of a campaign. what they wanted to do was talk about this message that they unveiled yesterday here in ohio and that he is the candidate of not just change, but big change as he likes to say on the campaign trail. >> in terms of weather, brianna, have there been any changes to the president's schedule next wee

there are 360,000 more high propensity republican voters, they far outnumber what obama has to turn out. furthermore, in the last election, 2008, 300,000 evangelicals did not turn out and obama won by, what, 260,000. there's all sorts of reasons. let me say something about the ground game. that's what -- this is my tenth presidential race. i started on the ground game. my first job, i was the butt end of an elephant in lincoln day parade. i know about the ground game. at some point, every time you ask the obama people what's so great about their ground game, they tell you how many offices they have. there's a rate of diminishing return. there's only so many voters that turn out. there's only so many phone calls you can make. if you don't have -- if they're not turning out for anything, then it doesn't matter how good your ground game is. our ground game is completely effective and it's proved itself over and over in the midterm elections. it is true what james is saying, they have this new microtargeting having your high school girlfriend call you or some of your twitter friends or some

and remember marginal obama states and usually republican. and that bringings you up to 204 and then you have florida, colorado and virginia. where the poems that i seen all show romney ahead. by reasonable margins 3-6 points and i think we have those three states. and that is 51 votes and that is to 255. and now he needs 270 to win and needs 15 extra votes and that will not be hard to do. there are eightitates with a combination of 98 electoral votes that are in the middle and in all of those they are in one or two points of each other. new hampshire contrary to the real politics average. recent and good polling shows romney two or three ahead . pennsylvania 20 votes where it shows mitt romney three ahead and ohio 18. tied . wisconsin 10, tied and michigan 15. they are tided. and minnesota 16 and obama is ahead by three . nevada 9. obama ahead by two. and iowa 6 they are tied. he's going to win at least 15 votes from the states and probably more like 45 or 50. and i think romney is on track to a significant victory and i think when we look back at this we will wonder why we thought it was so

for president obama again despite apparently still being a republican. is it time he left the party, do you think? >> well, i'm not sure how important that is. i do like the fact that colin powell's boss, george herbert walker bush, has endorsed mitt romney all along, and frankly, when you take a look at colin powell, you have to wonder whether that's an endorsement based on issues or whether he's got a slightly different reason for preferring president obama. >> what reason would that be? >> well, i think when you have somebody of your own race that you're proud of being president of the united states, i applaud colin for standing with him. >> with me now is new york mayor and obama supporter, cory booker. i watched you this morning. you seemed to be slightly biting your lip about this, but a lot of people have been getting very angry because they say whichever way john sununu tries to wriggle off the hook on this, i asked him the question, he gave a blunt answer. i asked him to clarify it, he gave a sort of blunter second answer. leaving no real wriggle room at all. the guy was saying, wi

of business. >> where do you give obama credit? most powerful arguments i hear are where a republican can give the democratic president some credit and vice versa, where a democrat can give mitt romney some credit. where do you credit the president? >> i like the drone attacks. i don't know why liberals like the drone attacks. if you're going to compare waterboarding a couple of terrorists at guantanamo three times to attacks on civilian populations to get one or two terrorists, i would say that the waterboarding is way better than that. but i think -- i think it's worth getting the terrorists. >> the only thing you can say positive about barack obama is -- >> i didn't say it was the only thing. but that's one pretty big thing. >> you think it was right to end the war in iraq? i know he didn't start that but he certainly finished it. to announce a timetable for withdrawing troops from afghanistan. you in favor of that? >> i can't say i'm in favor of the withdrawal since i was against the escalation. i don't know what the point of sending more troops to afghanistan was other than fulfilling a t

again. >> two republican senators pressed the obama administration to tell what it knows. senator bob corker accused the president's teem of a lack of truthful and after two months passed, it is time for the president to come clean and order his administration to fully disclose all information rollative to the swaution in benghazi. surely the deeth of four civil servants warrant that. >> the battle stretched in to four ho that would have been enough time for the military to arrive. >> a heart breaker. who denied them. >> no one is owning up to that decision. no one autolevel in the cia told anybody. claims to the contrary are inaccurate the they didn't get information. but john mccane the pentagon for a lack of lead areship. >> they were not prepared and no alert to enable them to reach a state of readiness. >> military leaders didn't have enough information about what was going on in the ground and could not put forces at risk. >> thank you, molly. one of the four americans killed that night. form are seal tyrone woods, a member of his family live together with judge janine on justic

when one of the most prominent republicans of the bush administration endorses a democrat for president. tonight the reaction to the endorsement is making headlines as well. colin paul, the former general carefully laid out his case in support of reelecting president obama on national television yesterday morning. >> i think generally we have come out of the dive and we're starting to gain altitude. i also saw the president get us out of one war and start to get us out of a second war and not into any new wars. i'm more comfortable with president obama and his administration when it comes to issues like what are we going to do about climate? what are we going to do about edge gag education, what are we going? what are we going to do about immigration? i think we ought to keep on the track that we are on. >> the former secretary of state ruffled some republican feathers. the romney campaign deployed former governor john sununu to respond. that's when things got ugly. >> when you take a look at colin paul, you have to wonder whether that's an endorsement mace basted on issues or whether h

to repeal obama care. so it's still a very popular issue for republicans. and the polling in north carolina still suggests that the president -- that obama care is still not very popular in north carolina although you start taking pieces of that like preexisting conditions and that sort of thing, it becomes various parts of it are more popular with the public. it's been a tough sell in north carolina. i think it's one of the reasons for example in 2010 that the state legislature went republican. it's one of the reasons that democratic congressmen lost his congressional seat here in north carolina. so it's been a tough issue for democrats. i don't think there's any question about that and a good issue for republicans. host: rob christensen talking to us from north carolina. you can read some of his writings at news observer.com. host: what are you going to be watching for on election night in north carolina? guest: the national presidential race is why people are looking at north carolina. but in the state we have -- it's been a battleground -- we have several battlegrounds going on. we have

to opt for president obama again despite apparently being a republican. is it time he left the party, do you think? >> well, i'm not sure how important that is. i do like the fact that colin powell's boss, george herbert walker bush has endorsed mitt romney all along and, frankly, when you take a look at colin powell, you have to wonder whether that's an endorsement based on issues or whether he's got a slightly different reason for preferring president obama. >> what reason would that be? >> well, i think when you have somebody of your own race that you're proud of being president of the united states, i applaud collin for standing with zblim this is why i'm not a republican anymore. this is a perfect example of -- and i say this on national tv. when john sununu's the gop poster boy and spokesman and he says stuff like that, that is why colin powell and people like myself and others, we're still -- you know, we may lean that way but we don't want to own it because of people like that. they're completely out of touch. talk about out of touch. you're supporting the president of the united

. >> president of obamas camp is remaining, about the economy. republican presiden mitt romney stated that means declining take-home pay. americans are ready for change. >> a reminder that kron 4 will have extended live coverage on election night. you could also step up betted on our web site kron4.com along with our facebook and twitter pay eacpage. teachikitwith >> he suffered rib and hip contusions. there were six of vehicles involved including two police officers cars. >> the mother of the children said that she came home to find her 2 year-old son and six year-old daughter staff to death and the bathtub. the nanny was found nearby and vichy turn the blade or herself. the nanny is now on police watch a local po--chich processe chichpolice watch. >> thei i ifcc youu stated that there was no winner and this is the yea i c u stated tht last armstrong will have also returned the money that he won. >> the surface has a bigger screen at 10.6 in. and it is bigger than the ipad. the screen is great and microsoft uses a lot of technology to make this. this is a thinner and less reflective display. th

for barack obama in 2008. democrats tended to dominate the u.s. senate election. we had a big republican tidal wave in 2010. if they win the senate seat this november, it will be the first time since the 1950's we have had thought to republican senators. the state swings back and forth between the two parties. host: as far as the math is concerned, what areas of the state trench republican and what areas trent democrat -- what areas of the state trend republican and what areas trends democrat? guest: the areas for the democrats are routed milwaukee and madison. the classic areas for republicans are in southeastern wisconsin around milwaukee county and heading up along the eastern coast of wisconsin. a lot of wisconsin really does swing. there are counties in northeastern wisconsin around green bay and western wisconsin that swung huge for obama in 2008 and swung back in 2010 and the recall fight in 2012. there were counties that brothel, won signed 10 points and scott -- that barack obama won by 10 points and governor scott won. those will be counties to watch in northeastern wisconsin a

and trust. after the republican primary the obama campaign was reportedly divided on strategy. they were divided over whether they were going to try to hold mitt romney to the severely conservative positions he had to take in order to win the primary. whether they should try to make him seem like the extreme conservative he declared himself to be in order to get the nomination. the obama campaign was divided between that strategy and whether they were instead going to try to make mitt romney seem like a flip-flopper. human weather vane who would say anything he needed to to get by at that moment. they chose the former. they chose to try to hold him to the conservative positions he took in the primary. now as it comes down to the final vote, mitt romney is abandoning all those positions. from repreductive rights to health reform to his own policies. he's abandoning his own policies in a way that makes all of those policies less relevant. those positions themselves have become less relevant. and what has become relevant is his willingness to abandon them. his willingness to walk away from

you have the argument both ways? >> that's easy, victor, that's easy. republicans never wanted president obama's hope and change. democrats and independents did. >> let's talk about those independents. >> those are the ones right now who are the ones you're talking about. those are the ones most disappointed. >> let's talk about something that happened on your show. a caller called into your show and gave you a bit of a warning, right? >> he gave republicans a warning. the same thing i have been doing. if mitt romney wins this time around, i'm an embarrassed if republicans screw it up this time around, i don't know if we'll vote for them again. >> i'm going to give the republican party this warning, that i'm with you by default. but if you don't do something in the next four years, it's just going to flip right back to democrat. >> and, specifically, that warning is for what element of the republican platform? where are they going wrong? >> i think if we vote republican this time around, what we want is mitt romney to govern as a conservative, not as a republican in name only.

by senator marco rubio, the freshman senator here, a very popular republican. he's also going to talk about the economy. that's really his wheelhouse. yesterday's gdp report was pretty favorable. the obama campaign saying this is proof that the economy is starting to rebound, but mitt romney in a big speech in iowa on the economy said just the opposite. >> today we received the latest round of discouraging economic news. last quarter, our economy grew at just 2%. after the stimulus was passed, the white house promised that the economy would be growing at 4.3%, over twice as fast. slow economic growth means slow job growth. and declining take home pay. that's what four years of president obama's policies have produced. americans are ready for change. for growth, for jobs, for more take-home pay and we're going to bring it to them. >> hearing mitt romney say that word "change" a lot lately. ten days until election day. >> so glad you're there to walk us through it. thank you so much. >>> we're just getting started on the presidential race. coming up, what state is really going to have the big

romney runs, romney has a new ad out saying he can work better with congress than obama has, that somebody didn't point out that this is an obstructionist republican majority in the house. >> i think that's because obama is in a trap. he has painted himself into a corner, which makes him vulnerable to the charge, which has been heard increasingly ofte that you don't know what obama's going to do in his second term, that he doesn't have an agenda, that only the past he's willing to talk aboutf that was a failure. and he can't tell you because it's not going to be good. i think the probm obama has is that he can tell part of the story, thanks to bill clinton, which is, "they ge me a e problem and i stopped what they were doing. now you d't want to give it 't back to the people who caused the problem." but what he is not then able to do, which i wish he would do, is to say, "and the reason it was so hard for me to do as much as i wanted, and the reon i need your help, america, going eerward, is that these people are going to fight us tooth and nail every step of the way. and st

that candidate romney is willing to drop that ad. >> i think it's not representative of the republican party. how i'm going to finish answering the question is that what's happening is democrats and president obama are doing a trumped-up war on women. they started it up in majority of. march. women are smarter than that. romney is tied 47% with oba outhe vot this is about our pocketbooks and bank accounts and jobs and women has been effected with the jobless rate under president obama and that's what it's about. it's not working. >> i don't think it's funniy at all. it's not funny because we are not going to fall for it in the end. women were told that the reason why republicans wanted to get into congress is because they wanted to do something about the debt. they got in there and immediately attacked the panon parenthood. they passed 26 laws in hundreds of states. they have here a woman who is attacked, called a slut for wanting access to contraception and a candidate that just said, i wouldn't phrased it that way. exactly how would he have phrased it? >> that's a false narrative. >> i don't wa

did obama win last time? he woven it from all of them right here in fast growing northern virginia. >> reporter: urgency in a place once reliably red. >> this is the republican party in virginia. >> mitt romney's path to the white house runs through virginia and to win it he must run strong within an hour's drive of washington. >> it's all about northern virginia. there have been so many people from the northeast, from decratic areas, that they have turned a solid red state into a purple state. >> reporter: recent polls show a dead heat. >> if you look at the dozen polls in virginia taken before the first presidential debate on october 3rd, obama was ahead in all 12. if you look at the eight polls taken after the first presidential debate, romney was ahead in 6 out of the 8. and it's now a dead-even tie. >> reporter: to prove its 2008 win was no fluke. it needs to run up the vote if it delivers it can ruin the night before the polls close in the midwest. democratic congressman knows romney's more moderate tone of late is aimed at the suburbs. >> i think there's a trust factor with

for obama in 2008 then swung by the late back for the republicans in 2010 and the recall fight of 2012. it recounted that barack obama as a democrat won for president by 10 points and scott walker as governor in a june run by -- won by 20 or 30 points. very competitive, ticket splitters. those are the county's to what in northeastern wisconsin and central wisconsin and western wisconsin, election day. >> how does early voting factor into election day? >> we do not have the same tradition. it is in growing but not the same level. technically known as in person absentee voting or mail absentee voting. the wendy a speedy the window -- the window it is a little more difficult. i cannot think we can say with confidence to us the advantage in the early voting in wisconsin. but the early vote will be significant but not at the label -- level of a state like colorado. >> are voters required to show i.d.? >> a law was passed under republicans after they took power in 2010 to do that but it has been held up in court. so they will not be required to show photo i.d. in this election. >> what are t

for mitt romney in the republican primaries, but the obama campaign feels that they have a really strong get out the vote effort when you look at the campaign offices, they have 24 to the romney campaign's nine. so as president obama makes his way here and we're expecting this event at elm street elementary school to get under way with president obama speaking at 2:15 eastern time, that's the scheduled time, he will have just this one event here in new hampshire today, but he will be doing a number of interviews. one national television interview, but also a few radio interviews, one for a station in florida, talking to a station in ohio, and he'll also be talking to a station in new hampshire that broadcasts to other stations all over this important state, fred. >> all right. taking no votes for granted. thanks so much, brianna keilar there in nashua, new hampshire. >>> all right in a moment we're going to revisit some legal cases. the parents of po pop star britney spears going head to head in court against her former manager, at least the man who says he was a manager, sam lufti, clai

there is a part of barack obama that believes that if he simply sat down with people, he could work things out. he thought he could sit down with republicans, and if we simply close the doors and hash it out, we can walk out of here with a deal that everybody could be happy with. >> narrator: but not everyone believed bipartisanship would be so easy. >> we believed, in the clinton campaign, that polarization is inevitable given the kind of campaigns that the republicans wage, and given the history that we've experienced. >> now i could stand up here and say, "let's just get everybody together, let's get unified, the sky will open, the light will come down, celestial choirs will be singing. and everyone will know we should do the right thing, and the world will be perfect." maybe i've just lived a little long, but i have no illusions about how hard this is going to be. you are not going to wave a magic wand have the special interests disappear.

@ktvu.com. you will find more there including fan slide shows. >>> now, election 2012 coverage. republican presidential nominee, romney, spent the day in iowa talking about the economy. there he told supporters that president barack obama has only quote made the problem worse. >> the president's campaign slogan is this, forward. but for 23 million americans trying to find a job these past four years feel more like backward. >>> for the democrats, joe biden hit the trail today while president barack obama spent the day in washington, d.c. >> it is always america is in decline. i got news for them. romney and ryan are -- america is not in decline you are in denial. >> biden at a rally in keep oshaa, wisconsin. the polls have the -- kenosha, wisconsin. the polls have barack obama ahead in wisconsin. >>> bay area community college is showing students how they will be effected if they fail to pass an ordinance. the classes highlighted in red will only be offered if proposition 30 passes next month. if it fails the district says it will have to cut about 100 classes at the classes in livermore i

and obama campaign says it's up. the republican mitt romney campaign says no. and anytime you hear about early voting and who is ahead it's based on a poll and nobody looks at the early voting ballots or absentee ballots and b, based 0 and tiny sample of people who say they've early voting. an interest statistic. fully 35 to 40% of people, voters that is are expected to vote early in this election, now, to the campaign trail. of governor romneays the most important speech he's given since tampa, hitting on two themes, a sunny, reaganesque style of optimism where the country could go under a romney presidency and on the other hand, a stinging indictment of the president president's-- >> the president's campaign falls short of the magnitude of these times and the presidency of the last four years has fallen far short of the promises of his last campaign. four years ago, america voted for a post-partisan president, but they've seen the most partisan of political presidents and a washington in gridlock because of it. >> now, as far as the president goes, he's been pretty much the week after

of the blunders by republican candidates out there and statements, you've seen a new emphasis by the obama campaign appealing to women has been in charge of their reproductive health. president obama had a video out where he just said women should be allowed to make their own health choices. part of that is to shore up support among women voters, which is their absolute key constituency. >> one thing i would say, craig, what's interesting is that president obama had done such a good job and the campaign of portraying mitt romney as an extremist on women's issues and on many issues that women care about. when the first debate came along, governor romney looked moderate. he looked much different than the portrayal of governor romney through the obama campaign's ads. that's what's given women another look at governor romney. and to make decisions about whether he thinks he is the demon obama is trying to portray him as. >> quickly here before i let you get out of here, i want to talk about florida for a second where i am. leading florida newspapers now making the presidential preferences know

obama stormed the state by 14 points. this does seem to be a seismic shift in the state. >> there is. wisconsin has become a republican state by virtue of the incredibly intense organizational efforts there of governor scott walker's people, americans for prosperity and various other political groups that have really mobilized the free market forces in the state. they have been through a recall election. a senate recall. a judicial election. and, of course, the original election in 2010 and they won them all and i think wisconsin is going to go for romney. let me put this in a context, greta. i don't think any one has the overview. 179 lectorral votes and states john mccain carried. indiana and north carolina where he just barely carried and they will undoubtedly go republican. 25 votes between them. that brings you up to 204. then you have 51 votes in swing states that have at this point probably swung to romney. florida 29 votes where he is four or five ahead. virginia 13 where he is five or six ahead. and colorado 10 where he is four ahead. so that brings him up to 255. he has got

president obama would be the person being sworn in but republicans would also be able to claim that their ideas have wouldn't mandate from voters. and think about the fist cav cliff negotiations that we'd be seeing in november-december. they're going to be difficult in any case. i just can't imagine what impact this would have on those negotiations. >> rachel, expand on that a bit. what happens with the fiscal cliff if this is the scenario that we have here? i mean, who works with whom effectively? and what's the incentive to do so? >> that's right. we've already seen a hyperpartisan atmosphere in washington. we just heard president obama saying i'll walk the dog or wash the car. >> even though mitch mcconnell doesn't have a dog by the way. that's okay. we get the idea. >> so already hyperpartisan atmosphere in washington is just going to get even crazier if this is the scenario. so it's really going to put even more pressure, even more questions. it's hard to imagine there'll be any kind of major settlement. maybe we'll see the favorite kind of gamut of kicking that can down t

any requests to deploy assets. two republican senators on the foreign relations committee. obama administration needs to tell what it knows. senator bob corker and another senator said, after two months have passed it's time for the president to finally come clean and order his administration to fully disclose all communications relative to the security situation in benghazi. surely the death of four public servants warrant that action. john mccain blames the pentagon for not being ready to help the americans in peril. he calls it a lack of leadership. >> they were not prepared. there was no alert of any kind that would have enabled them to reach a state of readiness this that they could have intervened. >> leon panetta has said that military leaders didn't have enough information what was going on the ground and could not, therefore, quote, put forces at risk in that situation. gregg? >> gregg: molly henneberg, thanks very much. >> jamie: let's get more on this from former air force vice chief of staff. a fox news military analyst. general, it's a privilege to have you here, sir

the most partisan of presidents and washington is in gridlock because of it. president obama promised to turn us together but he divided. he promised to cut the deficit in half, he doubled it. how about his budget? it failed to win a single vote either republican or democrat in either house of the congress. he said he would reform medicare and social security and save them from pending insolvency but he shrunk from proposing any solution at all. where are the jobs? where are the 9 million more jobs his stimulus would have created by now? they're in china, mexico, canada, in countries that have made themselves more attractive while obama's policies have made it less attractive here. his campaign tries to minimize the failures and to make this election about small shiny objects. it matters more than that. it matters to your family and the senior who needs an appointment met by a receptionist saying medicare isn't taking any patients i. it matters to the man in wisconsin i spoke with a few days ago and he used to have a job at there are 25 an hour with benefits and now has one at $8 an h

the math yesterday showing -- a former republican senator from missouri and senator, really appreciate you taking the the time. we don't have the full details, we did for president obama. but given that the deficit is the top issue for so many in this country, how are they supposed to feel about the fact this candidate says hees not going to balance the budget until the end of the second term. >> our tax reform plan has been validated by harvey rosen out of princeton. even the president's current head of the council economic adviser said in 1986 -- a lot of additional jobs, so if you you add up the growth, we think $7 million worth of jobs, plus what we can save by reforming the tax code, it's fully possible. now, you mentioned defense spending. we're going to ramp it up, but do it at the same time the spending on overseas operations is going down. he wants to capture what he spent on afghanistan to help the military rest and reconstitute after ten years of welfare. >> it seems unfair when you all do it, too, those wars are already slated to end and they were paid for with borrowed money.

republicans compared with 35% who say they are democrats. if you include those who say they lean republican, the gop lead said the democrats enjoyed a 10-point advantage in party identification. 12 points if you counted the leaners. to keep it fair and balanced our next guest whose communications are for obama. thank you for joining us. i don't know how you feel about this poll and i know a lot of democrats are upset with the organization over the last several weeks. but what do you think about that? why might there be a shift in the number of people who consider themselves republicans now as opposed to democrats? >> first of all, thanks for having me on. if you go to the top line at the top of the numbers on the website, the number one take away from the poll according to gal lop is the turnout will look like it did in 2008 than it did in 2010. they themselves say that means the president's coalition, younger voters, women voters, african-american latino voters will show up like they did in the past. more importantly there is all the talk about polls and the likely voters and talk about re

this legislation in this candidate that is part of important story. >> or the republican party flat form which is in ink for all to read. >> there was a new ad out for the obama campaign where a young female voter is looking into the camera and urging i guess other female verdicts veordz, if it is your first time. have you seen the ad, judy? bordering on tasteless. >> the issue for the campaign, is it effective. younger people tended to respond well to that ad. >> narrative thing, does jim messina and david plouffe directly want to answer dunham's strange endorsement of her. the answer is no, they don't have to. the media don't make the obama people to answer. it's the media. >> it's one thing. >> alan is admitting to it on the air. >> jeed plural which is why we have a show. >> jon: here is another example of media values perhaps conservative values in and the kind of treatment they get. these are the lsu, louisiana state -- i lost the name of the -- i forget what they call themselves. at any rated, there is a picture. they have crosses as part of their body paint. when lsu chose to put it ou
